#Hashtags on #SocialWally

Wednesday, June 17th, 2015

Today, whether you are on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube or Facebook, you simply cannot escape the #hashtag. A hashtag is a keyword or phrase accompanied by the symbol ‘#’. Basically, people include a hashtag in their social media posts to expand the reach of their messages. A hashtag makes your post accessible to all people with similar interests, even if they are not following you on social media. This makes the hashtag a very useful tool to reach potential prospects!

Use hashtags for your business

Strategic usage of hashtags has many advantages for your business. It creates an overview of social media messages of the same topic. Also, if you post a message with a hashtag, anyone who searches for that hashtag may find your post. Once someone clicks on that hashtag, they’ll be forwarded to a page that assembles all the posts with the same hashtag. For example, the hashtag #SocialWally on Twitter directs you to a page with all the tweets about SocialWally that contain our hashtag.
